Major Additions - Video-Directory Remixed

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:

• Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
• Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
• Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
• Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
• Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
• Category profiles for videos.
• Contribution profiles for users.
• Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
• Built in comment system for videos.
• Search function for titles and descriptions.
• RSS feed of videos.

Product Demo:

http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

Installation Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
   • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.

NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

Roadmap for the Future:

• Moderation
• Favorites
• Playlists

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

I read now all of the 39 pages of comments and so on about this Mod, and I still don?t know how to configure the Video Hosters right.

Youtube works, but the others don?t. I have no idea what to put into the URL fields of the other video hosts that come with the Mod. Someone can lighten my stupid self up ?

Thanks

hello every one
i want add one block in my forum to show last video
how i can do it
thank you

[tlwwolfseye]

I don?t want to say anything, but anyone wants to add something or edit something. So that leads me to the conclusion that you guys have that thing already running completely. Then why is it too hard to ask for such a little help then letting me know how the Videohosters that come with the Mod, except YOUTUBE which worked from the start, have to be configured in order to work. Seems you all got that working.

I don?t find any hint about that in any manual and noone can tell me just that little thing ?
No offence.

If I ask too much with this then please let me know, so I can deinstall the Mod and be done with it.
Sorry if that sounds a little desperate but I am searching for days now for this little Information and I can?t find it. Nore can i get METACAFE, DAILYMOTION or VIMEO working. My PM to the creator of this Thread wasn?t replied either so I would be really thankful if someone could just tell me.

Thanks.

I can't get YouTube HD videos to play in their bigger sized player formats even with the &fmt=22 extension to the URL. I see the example site and the Walt Disney fan site have their HD clips in the proper screen size, but even when I copy their HD video's URL to my forum for testing it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Theater,

Jaxel changed it so that all you have to do is change the "http" to "hdef" rather than having to remember the &fmt=22 or where to put it. Try that and see if it works.

Well, finally someone having the same issue. Problem is, so far noone tells me what to do.
Seems our Issue isn?t Issue enough to get a reply.
